Right, so- I'm starting on the Pill the first Sunday of my period. I'm rather looking forward to it, as a lack of cramps/nausea/mood swings will make me a happy girl. ...
Which of course means I've had cramps for four days and no bleeding.
Well, I've tried parsley tea and deep relaxation. It's been over a month since my last. The conditions are all right, so... why's it delayed? How can I help encourage it more? Any feedback will be appreciated, I think I may be close to ripping out my ovaries with a spoon. Wait, no.

i've heard people say excercise, masturbation, mental focus, or any of a number of other things can bring it on...

i find that when i start ignoring it it finds a way to surprise me (or did when i wasn't on the pill).. not always pleasant but, hey, murphy's law... and it got things going..

About the surprise thing? Man, me too, but that's rarely good- . (Well, one bad incident and one light-coloured pair of jeans makes me paranoid. :) ) Which is another good thing about the pill, my gyno jokingly stated that I'd be able to set a watch by my period. This, I think, is a good thing. *laughs*
Well, thanks for your help. I wish I had more time to do all of the above (err...), but currently I'm hard-pressed for a quick and easy solution. Translation? I'm lazy. And longwinded.
Out of curiosity, what pill are you on? I'm soon to take Estrostep, it appears, and I've heard really good things and really bad things...

Hope you don't have any spoons lying around...

:OZ Sounds painful...
I don't know of any ways to "encourage" your period. I know stress and diet and overall health can affect it, but I think it may differ from person to person. Just be patient and don't worry about it.

I don't want to berate the pill, but although I have less intense cramps and I love the regularity of knowing my cycle within a few hours, I notice that I have more mood swings now. Hope things go well with you!

Increase in mood swings.? Oh, that should be interesting.

I've heard, actually, that LSD will start your period for you... but this probably isn't something you want to try! ^_^

*laughs* Oh, man, if only.
